Sushi ERIKA: Carrying on the Family tradition

When Japanese Market and Sushi Deli closed in 2017, fans of the freshly made sushi at the tiny spot in the back of the market were sad and disappointed, but when the owner and master sushi chef, Michio Kushi suddenly passed away, it was a final devastating blow to the many loyal patrons. I admit to having never made it to Japanese Market and so was excited to hear of its continuing legacy through the hands of Michio’s daughter, Erika at Sushi Erika.
